    Wonderful photographer!

    Joshua was an absolutely wonderful photographer. He captured all of the beautiful emotions and moments that were so personal to our wedding. We were so happy with the photos he gave us and looking through the gallery helped us relive our day, including the parts we hadn't seen. His photos felt so natural, not forced at all, but they were great quality and felt full of real emotion. He was so professional in his approach - we barely noticed him there on the day as he blended into the background brilliantly. When we did our couples shots, he made us feel so comfortable (even as people who typically get awkward during photographs). His communication was great and he kept us up to date with everything that we needed to know. We cannot recommend Joshua enough!

    Fantastic photographer!

    We have some wonderful memories to look back on from our wedding day with Josh's photos! We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. We felt really listened to and Josh was very much always up for any photography challenge - including our bubble aisle and sparklers. We would both absolutely highly recommend him!

    Rebecca and Bono’s wedding

    Joshua was absolutely amazing at capturing such special moments of our day. He worked amazingly with all our guests and no moment was awkward even with a small intimate wedding party.
    We were really impressed with all the photos, the editing is super amazing especially given the lighting was most likely not optimum!
    We would recommend Joshua to anyone needing a wedding photographer.

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Rebecca. It was a pleasure to capture your special day and meet all your wonderful family and friends. The Oxford Town Hall is a beautiful location for a wedding, but the lighting can be difficult to work with at times.

    Josh is a great wedding photographer!

    Josh was very receptive about what kind of people we are and the type of ceremony/vibe we were going for. He was prepared, kind, and let us do our thing during our ceremony. He took wonderful photos and captured our wedding beautifully. Definitely recommend!!

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review, Arushri. I loved every minute of being your wedding photographer, and I wish you and Riaz a happy life together.

    Nadine and Michael Wedding Day

    Josh was amazing! So comfortable and relaxed, there was no pressure and we got the photos we wanted. We was let down by a previous photographer and Josh saved the day! We had a pre wedding consultation where Josh got to know us both which worked out so well, we got our sneaky peak photos within 5 days and they are perfect, cannot wait to see the full album. I would highly recommend Josh for any photographer work, honestly the best addition to our day. Kind, passionate and relaxed, he has really captured the best of our day. Nadine and Michael xx

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Hey Nadine & Micky,

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I was devastated to hear you were let down by a previous photographer, so it was my pleasure to make your dream wedding photos come true.

    You and Micky were so chilled out on the day and it made my job so easy as a photographer. It was such a pleasure to be part of your special day and to capture it, come rain or shine :)

    Pure magic!

    Wow, wow, wow! I can’t thank you, Joshua, enough for our wedding photographs—they are absolutely incredible.

    Joshua captured the mood of our wedding perfectly—laid back, warm, happy, and full of love. He melted into the background, and I hardly noticed him during the ceremony. He was able to capture all those priceless moments without ever being intrusive. I felt truly at ease, and so did my husband—who is much more camera-shy than I am.

    I’m especially amazed at how Joshua worked with the light inside the small 12th-century church. It’s such a dark, tricky space, yet the photographs feel so soft, light, and warm. The tones he achieved are everything I had hoped for—there’s this almost nostalgic quality to them that makes the images feel timeless. Pure magic.

    Some of my favourite shots are of my father and me walking toward the church. Those photos in particular feel as though they could have been taken in any era, which makes them incredibly special. I know they’ll be treasured in my family for generations to come.

    Joshua managed to capture the seriousness of the event but also the joy and happiness that filled the day afterwards, with fun staged images complemented by candid shots of ourselves and our guests. He took on board some suggestions I had for certain images, while also using his professional knowledge to ensure we had the perfect shots—kindly giving us small directional tweaks, something that only comes with real experience.

    We chose to book Joshua just for the ceremony and a couple of hours of the reception, as our wedding had a very small guest list, and yet I now have so many superb photographs to choose from!

    Joshua arrived promptly at the church, smartly dressed with a cracking smile, ready for the event. He spoke to the minister and verger about the details of the ceremony and spent time familiarising himself with the venue—showing real dedication and professionalism.

    So, to Joshua, thank you again—not only for your incredible skill and artistry, but also for capturing the true feeling of the day. To Tom and me, these are not just photographs; they are our day brought to life, and we feel so lucky to have them.

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Hey Jess,

    First of all thank you for trusting me to be your wedding photographer. I know that you and Tom were sceptical about having a photographer as they 'get in the way'.

    You were both so great to be around, you had a great energy and that really comes out in your gallery. Your gallery is one of my favourites and I can't wait to put some of the images in my portfolio.

    Again it was an absolute pleasure and I hope the photos stay within your family's for years to come!

    We couldn't recommend Josh enough!

    We couldn't recommend Josh enough as a wedding photographer! Josh made us feel super relaxed in front of the camera on the day and made sure all of our photos ran smoothly. We received our sneak peaks just 4 days after our wedding which made us really excited to receive the full album! We received our photos just under 2 weeks after our wedding and the photos couldn't be more pefect, they are exactly what we were looking for and are all amazing quality. All of our family and friends have also commented on how amanzing the photos are! Thank you Josh!

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Hi Hannah,

    Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day. It was such a joy to photograph your celebrations and to get to know both you and Luke.

    I’m so glad you love the photos! Caswell House really is a stunning venue – every detail is so thoughtfully done, which makes for some truly beautiful moments to capture.

    Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness together.

    Best wishes,
    Joshua

    Gemma & Steve's Wedding

    Josh recently undertook the photos at our Wedding.

    We had a fantastic day and enjoyed every moment and he certainly captured our feelings of the day.

    They were excellent and exactly what we had in mind. The photos captured both us and our guests in some lovely special moments with some very stylish shots. He very much brought out many emotions from the day, which we will cherish forever.

    We probably gave quite a list of shots to get if he could and he certainly fulfilled our brief as we knew he could only be one place at a time but he certainly got about.

    He certainly has a very professional but still relaxed approach and very much melted into the background when he was taking shots at the more formal parts of the day.

    All in All, I would certainly recommend Josh.

    Steve & Gemma

    Joshua Haken Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review Steve. It was an absolute pleasure to capture yours & Gemma’s day and I’m so pleased you both like the gallery.

    What a photographer!

    Wow where do I start Joshua provided the most amazing professional service… capturing our special day beautifully. He attended the church rehearsal prior to the big day to get the best angles and further our reception. Joshua has a warm & friendly manner which makes having our photos taken to be so much more natural. Amazing candid shots provided and even had some sneak peaks sent 1 day after!! Very efficient and professional!
